Colorado College, North Dakota, Denver, St. Cloud State, and Minnesota, seeded in that order this weekend at the X in St. Paul. Looks to be another great tournament this year. I will be on-hand Thursday night for the play-in game. Gotta see my Huskies try to knock off the Gophers' bid for the Broadmoor trophy. CC is going to be tough to beat, but I think every team in the tourney has a shot to win it. WCHA hockey is the best in the country!

This could be one of the better games of the weekend. Huskies have been playing well and the Gophs are not nearly as bad as the record shows. If it comes down to the goalies, I would give the edge to St. Cloud, but Mn. plays a solid game, and you can NEVER count out the U.

I agree. Kangas is making the big save right now. All a team needs in the playoffs is a hot goalie and the "U" has that right now. If the Gophers advance they will have to win ugly. Probably 2-1 games. If the Gophers give up more than 2 goals I don't think they have the offense to catch up. Go "U"!!!!! grin.gif

Fun to watch the goalie but Minny needs to get that power play going and get the puck inside. Mankato was getting all sorts of centering passes through with no problem but Minny couldn't get anything inside short of an occasional rebound (which they couldn't ever stick back). IMO too much passing around the perimeter and shots from the blue line. Get it inside.

Should be a good series.

Yeah Kangas is hot but da U is facing the HOTTEST goalie in the conference Thursday night. Weslosky has the best GAA and save% in the league over the last 4 or 5 weeks. Should be a good one.

Kangas is hot but equally so is Weslosky. SCSU has much more top end firepower than the gophers but its one game and anything can happen. SCSU 4 Minny 3

If Frazee starts SCSU 8 Minny 3

Its the real March Madness time. This is the first time in 4 years I won't be at the tournament. Dang Easter weekend. Tonights game should be very good. I'm pulling for the Gophers. No matter what it should be fun watching these two rivals go at it.

Hmmm. Imagine who the rodents "pulled" for refs? WCHA knows where their bread is buttered. Tough break Huskies. Hope you can overcome the bias. Case in point just happened with extremly questionable 5 on 3.

I am so sick of people blaming the officials. If you don't like the officiating, don't watch. I suppose since SCSU lost the blame goes right to the officials. It had nothing to do with the Defenseman for St. Cloud not tying his man up in front of the net.

With this win the Gophers should get into the NCAA.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
